Crockpots With Timers |verified| May 2026
Here’s a detailed breakdown of — focusing on the features, benefits, and what to look for. 1. Core Timer Functionality A built-in digital timer lets you set a specific cook duration (usually 30 minutes to 24 hours). When time runs out, the crockpot automatically switches to "Warm" mode (typically 140–165°F / 60–74°C) to keep food safe without overcooking. ✅ Key benefit : No need to rush home to turn it off. 2. Programmable vs. Manual with Outlet Timer | Type | How it works | Pros | Cons | |------|-------------|------|------| | Built-in digital timer | Set cook time + heat level; auto-switches to Warm | Convenient, exact, no extra gear | More expensive, more electronics to fail | | Manual + external outlet timer | Plug into a wall timer; set when power comes on/off | Cheap, simple | No auto-Warm mode; food may cool unsafely |
If anything, I would have been more open to an expanded role for Beorn, rather than the Legolas/Tauriel arc.
I think we've come to a place where movies are so bad (lame propaganda written by adults who cry a lot) that yesterday's bad movies seem kind of fun by comparison.
I don't think I'll get past the fact that *The Hobbit* has the wrong tone in nearly every single scene: dramatic and scary where it should be adventurous, or silly where it should be miserable (as when they enter Mirkwood). Not to mention about half of it is an advertisement for a trilogy I've already watched.
But hey, at least it isn't about Trump.
